	Are there any set triggers that can be damaged firing them unset? Or, any set triggers that cannot be fired unset?

	I have set triggers that must be set to use them and others that either way works. Not much of high-impact going on with just the trigger; therefore my supposition that it wouldn't hurt much.

	Single lever double set triggers found on some rifles, old and new, cannot be fired unless set. Chuck

	That is good to know, Joe. Either I have never done it or got lucky. I have no reason to shoot them unset. They must be different than the set triggers used in ML, eh?

	My triggers are usually set when I decock the BAllard. Does it happen on Winchester SST, DST or both?

	What about BAllard? I recall breaking a return spring once, but I think it just happened. I didn't do anything any different. CAn't remember if it was a front trigger return or something else.

	I'll pull my triggers one of these days and see which spring I replaced.

	At this point in time a number of these guns are old enough that what might have been a non issue decades ago, could now create a broken part easily. I set my triggers on my Ballard rifles whenever I shoot them. And I set them if I'm going to lower the hammer also. Just don't want the hassle of a broken spring, and having to make replacements.
